An Adaptive Local Time-Stepping Method Applied to Storm Surge Inundation Simulation by Pubing Yu, Tao Ji, Xiuguang Wu, Yifan Chen, Guilin Liu

“…Through a series of idealized cases, this paper derives an empirical criterion for selecting the maximum LTS level and performs detailed analysis for two typical scenarios: in the absence of dry cells, the optimal LTS level is based on the maximum local time step under quiescent conditions; in complex hydrodynamic models with dry cells, the adaptive adjustment strategy based on the dry cell proportion is required to handle the increased computational complexity. …”
